Beauty and the Beast

We were excited that Beauty and the Beast was coming to Abu Dhabi.  

It is so much fun to get glammed up for a show. 

Ha-Na even let me do her hair. 

She is such a goof.

MJ loves getting dressed up and hair done.






She was patient, but really this only took about 15 minutes and that is because it was my first time trying this one.

 They did not know where we were taking them.
They were very excited...and curious.  

Love this girl, She makes me smile.

The handsome guys.  

The kids were actually disappointed when they found out what we were seeing.  We tried to reassure them that they would love it.  

 They were good sports about posing in front of all the signs.

We had a long wait since we were told to be there at 7:30 but the actual show did not start until 8:30

As we were going through the check in one toddler started throwing up, then at the refreshment counter another threw up all over and they only put napkins over it.  It was comical but we felt so bad for the child.  Then the dad got the kid some popcorn and 7up to make them feel better.  I am really glad we were not sitting by them.  

Our seats in front of the stage.

MJ and dad being goofy.

During intermission the kids (and dad) were having fun being silly.

The show was really great, given the constraints of the Middle East, since the stage was really small but the actors were really impressive. The kids really enjoyed it in the end, we even had to stop Carl from singing along!  It was great to have a cultural experience such as this here.  Hopefully more will come in the future since this seemed to be a success, I know it was a success for our family!
